An interesting question

Claire asked Ann Leckie:
Hello. I wondered if you were aware of the fact that in the french translation of Ancillary, Breq is male ?

Thanks for the link!

And, on some more discussion of the specifics of what the translator did do, I'm actually intrigued by his choices and kind of like that he did what he did. My first reaction to "Breq as masculine" was negative, but actually I really think the translator did something kind of cool, and I'm good with it.

That's very good to know--thank you!
